Sweet! Gluten Free Sweet Cornbread or Corn Muffins

Submitted by LawyerMom

"Gluten-free, casein-free cornbread for those of you who like cornbread that tastes like cake. You need 6.6 ounces of gluten-free flour, but because everyone's blend is different, volume can differ based on the density of the type of flour you're using (e.g. rice vs. garbanzo bean flour). I use a store-mix that's primarily rice flour with potato and tapioca starches and it comes out to slightly more than 1.5 cups of gluten-free flour."

This is hands down the BEST CORNBREAD or Muffin recipe I have EVER HAD! I made this with chili tonight and they are amazing! Literally the best I have ever had, gluten free or not! I followed the recipe exactly, except I added corn flour instead of corn meal, I was out. I HIGHLY recommend corn flour as it was a smoother texture. But if you do, add a little less milk. The corn meal absorbs more moisture I guess as my first batch came out a little flat. I added a little more potato starch to absorb the milk and it came out perfect. I wish I could give these more than 5 stars, they are truly the BEST!

Best ever cornbread! Light fluffy and sweet, best of all gluten free! My husband and I ate half a 8x8 pan tonight.

I made a double batch of this cornbread muffins for our families New Years Day feast of Smoked Pork Chops, Applesauce, Mashed Potatoes, and Blackeyed Peas. Prior to being diagnosed with celiac disease I loved my mother’s cornbread and it’s light sweet flavor. My search for a GF sweet cornbread brought me to the genius kitchen recipe. I use the bisquick pancake and baking mix with GF Bobs Red Mill stone ground whole grain cornmeal. With the sugar included in the recipe it was so light and fluffy and the sweetness made it exactly the way I remember cornbread tasting pre GF. I’ve made it twice since January 1, 2018, and it’s only January 18th. Very easy to make. Don’t pass up this yummy recipe for cornbread or cornbread muffins.

Sweet is an understatement. This recipe would be categorized better under cakes. Both the texture and sweetness qualify better as a cake. In my household, cornbread should be something that goes well with chili, soup, etc. A sweet base does not meet that match.
